The Jackson Family Center for Ethics and Values at Coastal Carolina University will present a Tea and Ethics panel discussion on "Food and Ethics: Does it Matter What We Eat?" The discussion will be held on Thursday, Oct. 1, at 3 p.m. in the Lib Jackson Student Union Movie Theater at Coastal Carolina University. The event is free and open to the public.

This session of Tea and Ethics will address questions such as: Is it ethically problematic to eat certain foods? Are we morally obliged to find out how our food is being produced and prepared? Is it acceptable to genetically modify plants in order to increase food production? What exactly should CCU do in order to offer students "ethical" food choices? A panel of CCU faculty, administrators and students will discuss these and other questions.

The Lib Jackson Movie Theater is located at 106 Spadoni Park Circle, Conway in room A-110. For more information, visit coastal.edu/jacksoncenter or call 843-349-2547.
